Dijon secured a second consecutive appearance at the EHF European League women's finals by beating Lokomotiva Zagreb 28–20. The French club advanced 58–40 on aggregate after overturning a halftime deficit in the return encounter against the Croatian visitors.
Zagreb led 11–7 in the twenty-second minute and remained ahead 13–12 at the break. Goalkeeper Tea Pijevic made eight first-half saves, but Dijon strengthened its defence after the interval and allowed only seven goals during the second half.
Stine Lønborg led Dijon with seven goals, while Nina Dury and Maureen Gayet added four apiece from the wings. The result ended Zagreb's previously unbeaten away record in that European campaign and returned the previous season's bronze medallists to the final weekend.
